    Gigabyte z87x-ud4h quick question about pci express x16 speed

    That definitely good, how about the noise level anyway? Push/pull Configuration on Noctua U14S may also help you push little more to 4.2 or 4.3GHz maybe, just guess. Anyway that definitely a good result.

    Gigabyte z87x-ud4h quick question about pci express x16 speed

    Good, since the sound decibel is very low, you probably you can maxed out the fan performance(draw in more air - side). Hope to see your result when using it.

    Gigabyte z87x-ud4h quick question about pci express x16 speed

    Just see the spec of your case, and my mistake though that the front have two fans mount, fan mount: top(+1), bottom(+1/2), Side(+2) Recommend Fans - Cougar fan - Dual-X, Vortex - color may look ugly to you - Corsair SP/AF series fans - 120/140mm - Phanteks PH-F140TS - 140mm fan, blue color...

    Gigabyte z87x-ud4h quick question about pci express x16 speed

    Sorry for late reply, I see you have a lot of storage disk there, that why the air(is not completely block at all) but still lack of intake air, Recommend add two side fans and one more front fan as intake, Cable management is also not so well - consider as ok, hope you can adjust some if you...

    $1500 - $2000 PC for BF4

    Why say so? Water cooling definitely better than air cooling, you can overclock better in water cooling than air cooling system. But having a close-loop water cooler, ensure no leakage on pipe or else. Yet, water cooler(extreme mode) also produce more noise than air cooler. Due to Haswell heat...

    Gigabyte z87x-ud4h quick question about pci express x16 speed

    Yes, few Celcius drop, but i might recommend close-loop water cooling for better cooling. Could you also upload the picture of inside your case, actually i need to know how many fan in your case is. #High static pressure with decent airflow case fan is recommended if you continue use air cooling#

    Gigabyte z87x-ud4h quick question about pci express x16 speed

    Yes, just take a look at (see expansion slot, it does explain everything right?) http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4488#sp At stock speed, your CPU should not be 82c even on air(70c or even lower will much more normal), my question is do you apply thermal paste? If so, are...

    7870 Crossfire: Motherboard Bottleneck?

    AMD driver not fix crossfire microstutter?? Why say that? At least the driver mitigate microstutter for long time gaming, yet pratical FPS still not as good as 13.6 beta(AMD 7990, not sure about others), and yes 13.8 beta still introduce microstutter, but occasionally. So, what? It not a big...

    Best CPU cooler for i7-4770k? (an alternative to the H100i)

    Agree with lazyboy947, but its not 3.0, its 2.0. Thermaltake water 2.0 extreme surpass H110 if not wrong, H110 > Kraken X60 #mind that all in push/pull configuration# swiftech H220 of course the best close loop liquid cooler ever. Other alternative will be Water Cooling Kit like XSPC raystorm...

    Is this a good gaming rig?

    Dual 7990, same as 4x7970 in crossfire(not much gain in performance) and is waste of money, run eyefinity with crossfire enabled is mean meet doom with your driver, Current AMD 13.8 beta driver doesn't actually fix that, it only support up to two way crossfire.

    Desktop Specs help?

    Not really necessary, you could buy it if you want, CM TX3, Xigmatek Gaia, either of this should able to cool your chip. I suggest you added case fan for top(exhaust) and side(intake) #exhaust must better than intake air to ensure proper dissipation# Recommended - Cougar Turbine 120(4 packs)...
